Salem (Tamil Nadu) [India], October 17: The International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF), in partnership with Sri Srinivasa Enterprise, organized a charitable event at Panchayat Union Primary School in Salem district, Tamil Nadu. Led by Praveen Kumar S, the event aimed to provide essential educational and sports materials to 28 children, while engaging them in interactive activities such as painting competitions, speech contests, and various indoor and outdoor games. The children enjoyed a memorable morning filled with learning and fun.
Addressing the Needs of Rural Schools
Rural schools often face significant challenges in accessing adequate educational resources, leaving many children without basic learning and recreational facilities. By organizing this event, IYDF and Sri Srinivasa Enterprise sought to address these gaps by offering much-needed supplies and organizing competitions and games to boost the children's confidence and creativity. "Seeing the joy on the children's faces is deeply fulfilling," said Praveen Kumar S. "These supplies and activities not only brought smiles but also conveyed that the community cares for their growth."
Donations and Activities
The event provided a variety of learning and sports equipment, including notebooks, pencils, sharpeners, erasers, writing slates, and more specialized items like storybooks, dictionaries, and multiplication tables. The children also received sports gear such as footballs, cricket bats, chess sets, and carrom boards. These donations supported the children's educational needs and offered new opportunities for recreational activities.
Expressing her appreciation, Pushpa, the school's headteacher, said, "In areas where resources are limited, the impact of this kind of support is profound. These supplies will make a significant difference in the children's daily lives and overall development."

Engaging Activities Led by Enthusiastic Volunteers
The event featured a lively atmosphere, as volunteers including Periyar Mannan, Jawahar, Rajasekaran, Thirusangu, Mohan, and Manivannan led the children in a variety of activities. These included painting contests, speech competitions, and strategy-based games like chess and carrom, as well as outdoor activities such as football and cricket matches. The children participated eagerly, with laughter and excitement marking every moment.
Reflecting on the day, Praveen Kumar S stated, "Seeing the children actively engage in each activity made all our efforts worthwhile. We are grateful to IYDF for providing us with this opportunity to make a positive impact on these young lives."
Aiming for a Brighter Future
IYDF remains dedicated to supporting children in underprivileged and rural areas, working with organizations like Sri Srinivasa Enterprise to not only offer material assistance but also to inspire hope. Looking ahead, IYDF plans to expand its collaborations with more companies and volunteers to provide greater educational and growth opportunities for children in need.
The event concluded amidst the children's laughter, symbolizing its success. The collaborative efforts of IYDF and Sri Srinivasa Enterprise not only benefited these young students but also set an example of compassion and support for the broader community.
